Here's mine: https://www.seanw.org/ :)

Netlify + Hugo + minimal CSS + minimal JavaScript.

It's more for generating leads for freelance website/app design work but I want to try to get into blogging at some point.

I would recommend Hugo. It's simple, super fast and not overloaded with distracting setup and features. You shouldn't need much besides a landing page + blog page with shared header and footer. Don't overthink it.

I write my books in markdown and convert to pdf/epub/web using pandoc and mdbook. I find markdown easier to work with and I don't know much about web development. So, I use Zola (https://github.com/getzola/zola) for my blog (https://learnbyexample.github.io/). It is a static site generator, clone a theme you like and start writing posts in markdown.

I write mostly about random nonsense but I do want to get more technical eventually. This is my first year blogging in a long time so it's mostly been about getting into the groove and developing a voice.

Using a very basic static site generator written in Python, very less CSS and minimal HTML templates.

I have another account that I use HN not tied to my name.

I write mostly about Python and everything related to it. I decided to create a blog because I wanted to improve my writing skills, English is not my first language and writing in English would be an opportunity to improve it, hopefully.

I'm trying to be consistent and I release two articles a month, one every other week.

The first version I used Hugo but I noticed that I was spending a long time tweaking it and not writing a single word. Then I found https://hashnode.com and gave it a go. They are a blogging as a service and it abstracts away most of the things that I was fighting with. The downsides is that it's not fully configurable but that's the price I decided to pay. But for basic stuff like domain name, analytics, newsletter it works out the box.

Here's my site. I work at a communication school. I've noticed we often get the usual suspects into the comms industry - so I'm trying to help fix that a little bit (for free) ( https://adamhorne.com/outsiders/ ) As a designer I would find myself messing with the design all the time, I told myself that I had to use the default WordPress theme with a tiny amount of little CSS tweaks (font size, color) and that that it…

I don’t know where I would fall on the spectrum between insider and outsider, just wanted to let you know that I think what you’re doing is great. Have a nice one!
